听歌学英语:The World's Greatest-R. Kelly

 

英文歌词:

　　I am a mountain
I am a tall tree
Ohhh, I am a swift¹ wind
Sweepin' the country
I am a river
Down in the valley
Ohhh, I am a vision²
And I can see clearly
If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

　　I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it mmm
I'm the world's greatest

　　I am a giant
I am an eagle
I am a lion
Down in the jungle
I am a marchin' band
I am the people
I am a helpin' hand
And I am a hero
If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

　　I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest

　　In the ring of life I'll reign³ love
And the world will notice a king
When all is darkest, I'll shine a light
And use a success you'll find in me

　　I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

　　I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

　　I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

　　[*]
It's the greatest
Can you feel it
It's the greatest
Can you feel it

　　[Repeat * while:]
I saw the light
At the end of a tunnel
Believe in the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
And faith was right there

　　R. Kelly凭借I believe( I Can Fly)，一举获得三座葛莱美，奠定了他在美国流行乐坛的地位，但之后R.Kelly横遭种种不堪的性丑闻官司。直到2003年推出的精选集中，出现了这首听来振奋人心的歌曲The World's Greatest。 在歌词中，R. Kelly运用了与I Believe (I Can Fly)相同的技巧，重复使用英文简单句，点出歌者的特质和梦想。今天我们就一起来学习这首 The World's Greatest.
